The special condition of L. Messi's contract has entered into force

"Barcelona" team is making every effort to sign a new contract with striker Lionel Messi.

The reason is simple: the current contract with the athlete is valid until the middle of 2021 and, on top of that, it includes a very significant condition.

According to "El Pais" and "Goal", the Argentine has the option to leave the "Barcelona" team after each season.

It is reported that this condition became active for the player when he turned 32 years old, and similarly in the past, legendary players Carles Puyol, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta were honored in this way. This option can be used every year on June 30.

"Barcelona" president Josep Bartomeu and coach Ernesto Valverde hope that the superstar will continue to show loyalty and uphold the club's honor for many more years.
